Chapter 112 Lost Soul
There was also a young girl in the courtyard of this farmhouse, and after the master stunned him, it was likely that he ran to commit murder against the girl.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng flew and rushed to the door of the warehouse, kicked the wooden door open, and jumped out of the courtyard. He glanced around and found that it was already early in the morning, and a touch of fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky. Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the courtyard, he walked quickly to the door of the main house of the owner and knocked several times.
These knocks on the door were like drums, enough to wake people from their sleep, but there was no reaction in the room, no movement at all.
Zhao Zheng chuckled in his heart and immediately sank. He pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword of life, kicked the door open with his foot, and strode in. Directly opposite the door is a small living room and a kitchen, with a set of old tables, chairs and benches, and various cooking utensils in the corner. There is a small door on each side of the living room, which is the bedroom of the owner and his wife, and the girl's boudoir.
The matter was urgent, and Zhao Zheng couldn't take care of it anymore, so he raised his foot and kicked the door on the left hand side open, and found an old couple lying side by side on the bed. The movement of him kicking the door was so loud, but the two of them were still asleep on the bed, which proved that they had been pointed. This further validated his previous suspicions.
He only felt that his head was buzzing, his eyes were a little black, and his heart was beating wildly. He swallowed and walked to the door of the other room, and with a slight push, the door opened, and there was no need to kick it.
The floor of the room was covered with blood, and there lay a naked* headless female corpse, whose head had been cut off with a sharp weapon and placed on the table. The head was draped with loose hair, stared at a pair of eyes that were a mixture of fear and grief, and the mouth was wide open. A lot of blood came out from the neck down. Bloodstains twisted and twisted. Stain the table in red.
On the wall, a line of words is written in blood: Drunk to pick flowers and Qinxing to visit here!
Zhao Zheng looked at the miserable situation in the room, and froze for a moment, his eyes widened, his pupils contracted a little, his breathing stopped abruptly, and his feet seemed to be glued to the ground, unable to move any longer. All he felt was an illusion. The thief shouldn't have appeared, and the girl shouldn't have been killed.
According to his original plan, he was just wasting a few days here, and when the time came, he patted his ass and left here to go to Sword Forge Villa to fight.
Nothing should have happened.
But a change of events came to him, like most calamities in the world, and befell him without warning.
The murderer actually committed the crime again, a day close to the last crime, and did not change places. is still in this Dachuan Town, and he doesn't take the government and the group of warriors in his eyes at all.
The murderer's martial arts skills are high. When he walked around, he was lifeless, easily stunned him and the owner's family, and when everyone was unconscious, he ruined the innocent girl, and cut off the girl's head in a frenzy, depriving an innocent young life!
He was sleeping while the girl was humiliated; When the girl was killed, he was sleeping; He was sleeping while the killer wrote blood on the wall; While the killer was leaving, he was sleeping!
He stayed here, obviously to help catch the thief and protect the family, but he couldn't help anything, and he ate a bowl of porridge.
"I also have a little girl at home, and since what happened last night, I am always worried that something will happen to her. I hope you heroes can catch the thief quickly, so that I can feel at ease. ”
The words of the houseowner's aunt echoed in Zhao Zheng's mind like hitting a bell, over and over again, harshly blaming him for his dereliction of duty and his incompetence. There was a sharp pain in his heart, as if blood was dripping from it.
"I'm sorry......" Zhao Zheng weakened his knees, knelt down in front of the threshold, leaned against the door frame, and looked at the eyes of the deceased, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" In addition to this sentence, he didn't know what to say at all.
Unfortunately, the dead cannot respond, and even if they can, they will never forgive him.
Unless he can kill the murderer and avenge the girl, only in this way can the girl forgive him.
A wave of indignation formed a stream of heat that poured into his body, forming a force that supported him to stand up.
"I can't fall like this, the murderer just committed the crime last night, whoever he is, he must not have gone far. I'm going to have to tell you the news so that everyone can catch the thief quickly and avoid any more victims. Zhao Zheng clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, hammered the ground hard, and stood up.
He stumbled out of the house, pulled the bolt of the courtyard door, and went out into the street, all the way to the Tingfeng Tower.
There are several warriors left behind in the Tingfeng Tower, ready to attack at any time to capture the "real murderer" Qin Xing. If the secret sentinel hiding in the shadows encounters the murderer, or sees something going on, the news must be sent here.
The doorman downstairs was still the same person who guarded the door yesterday, and when he saw Zhao Zheng running over, he greeted him with a smile.
Zhao Zheng was full of worries, as if he was deaf in his ears, and he didn't hear what the doorman was saying at all. He ran past the doorman and up the stairs to the very top floor. He glanced around and found that there were nine people here, including Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice. His eyes trembled, staring at Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice.
Could all this be done by Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice?
Zhao Zheng's head was banging, like being struck by lightning, if this was the case, then standing in front of him was a pair of murderers!
Ye Zhiqiu also saw Zhao Zheng and said with concern: "Zhao Shaoxia, you left the place you stayed behind without authorization and ran back in a hurry, did you find anything special?" ”
When everyone heard this, they also looked at Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng stared at Ye Zhiqiu, trying to find a trace of abnormality in those old eyes, but failed, Ye Zhiqiu's eyes were calm and calm, open and natural. He took a deep breath, forced down the doubt in his heart, and muttered, "The murderer committed another murder last night, killing the girl I left behind in the courtyard, and leaving blood on the wall, just like the last murder method." ”
"What? Qin Xing is so bold! He had just killed someone the day before yesterday, and yesterday he actually killed someone again, and he was still under the noses of heroes of all ages. I really don't take everyone seriously! Ye Zhiqiu's face changed drastically when he heard this. Looks furious.
The rest of the warriors were also surprised. caused an uproar, urging Zhao Zheng to elaborate.
Zhao Zheng recounted what happened last night. After hearing this, everyone could no longer hold back and urged him to lead the way in front and go to the place of the incident together. Zhao Zheng nodded, quickly went downstairs, reached the street, and ran quickly towards the blood-stained farmhouse courtyard. Many warriors followed him.
"Zhao Shaoxia, you are running too slowly, I will help you, so that you can get to the place faster." Ye Zhiqiu grabbed Zhao Zheng's shoulder as he spoke, lifted him up, and flew in front of him.
The strong wind was blowing, and Zhao Zheng had to close his eyes slightly, peeking at Ye Zhiqiu, the old fox.
Ye Zhiqiu's face was full of anger, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour, obviously angry about this matter. On the face of it. Ye Zhiqiu really doesn't look like a bad person, if he doesn't know the details. Zhao Zheng would never associate this person with the murderer.
"Who committed the murder, was it him or someone else? If it was him, what was his purpose in acting in this play? Zhao Zheng was suspicious in his heart, and almost really asked, but finally swallowed the words back. These questions are too dangerous, and if you say it, you may be killed, and even if the other party is the real murderer, you will not admit it.
"Little friend, which way should we go next, let's not go to the wrong place and delay time." Ye Zhiqiu suddenly reminded in a loud voice.
"Just keep going, and when I get to the place, I'll tell my seniors." Zhao Zheng looked away and looked at the fast-paced street below him, and it didn't take long for him to see the dwelling and point out, "It's there!" ”
Ye Zhiqiu's eyes widened, he raised his nose and sniffed twice, and said angrily: "Sure enough, there is a strong bloody gas, let's go down and take a look." ”
The two fell directly into the yard, and when they landed, they were fluttering, and they didn't bring up any smoke and dust.
Ye Zhiqiu put down Zhao Zheng, walked into the house quickly, looked at the miserable situation in the boudoir, and stomped his feet angrily: "That Qinxing dares to despise human life so much, it's really angry with me!" As long as the old decay still has three inches of energy, he will never let go of this lewd thief, and he is bound to break his body into thousands of pieces to comfort the soul of the deceased in the sky! ”
Zhao Zheng stared at Ye Zhiqiu, and secretly said in his heart: "I will also give you this sentence as it is, if you are the real murderer, I will definitely not let you go!" ”
Ye Zhiqiu scolded angrily, and then checked in the house, but he couldn't find any clues. He lifted the messy bedding on the bed and put it over the deceased's body. After all, the deceased was a woman, and she was defenseless, so it was inconvenient for others to show it. He walked out of the house, patted Zhao Zheng on the shoulder, and comforted Zhao Zheng with tears, like a kind elder.
Zhao Zheng remembered that the owner and his wife were still lying in bed, unconscious, and talked about it.
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, walked to another room, and unlocked the acupoints for the couple lying on the bed.
When the couple woke up, they were ignorant of everything, unaware that their baby daughter had been killed. Ye Zhiqiu told the couple about last night's tragedy and asked the couple to take a look at their daughter's body. When the couple saw that their daughter was dead, they were hit so hard that they both turned their backs and went away.
Ye Zhiqiu and Zhao Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to rescue and woke up the couple. The couple wept and were heartbroken, and soon fainted again.
The warriors in the back rushed here one after another, and after seeing the tragic situation in the house, they were all so angry that they gritted their teeth, and they couldn't wait to catch Qin Xing immediately and correct the Fa on the spot. Ye Zhiqiu presided over the overall situation and sent two people out to help deliver the letter, so that one person could send a letter to the government and one person would send a letter to the martial artists in the town.
"Daughter, don't die, my mother can't live without you, come back to life. If you don't let me die for you, as long as you can come back to life, I can report to the king of Yama for you. The woman fell to the ground and cried, a series of tears wet the placket, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhao Zheng standing in the crowd, lost control of her emotions for a while, rushed up and grabbed Zhao Zheng's collar, pulled and shook hard, "Didn't you keep saying that you came to catch thieves?" Why is it that my daughter was killed while you are here! Where were you when the killer killed last night? Hurry up and get my daughter back, and then spit out all the porridge I gave you last night, you don't deserve it! ”
Zhao was speechless, and let the woman beat and scold.
"Stop! The person was killed by Qin Xing, and it has nothing to do with Zhao Zheng. Qinxing's martial arts are strong, and he has come and gone without a trace, even if Zhao Zheng failed to catch Qinxing, it is understandable. Zihuan didn't know when she arrived in the courtyard, she snorted, stepped forward and pushed away the woman's hand, and relieved Zhao Zheng.
The woman was hindered and had nowhere to vent, so she had to continue to weep on the ground.
"Let her continue to scold me. I feel better this way. Zhao Zheng looked at the woman and said blankly.
"It's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself." Zihuan turned around and comforted.
"I failed to protect this family, this is my incompetence, incompetence is fault." Zhao Zheng said bitterly.
"Don't be cranky, go back and rest first. I'll leave the matter of catching Qin Xing to us first. Zihuan couldn't bear it and gently patted Zhao Zheng's shoulder.
Seeing this, the warriors next to him also spoke out to persuade Zhao Zheng and let him go back first.
Zhao Zheng left the small courtyard as if he had lost his soul, leaving behind the noisy talking and crying, and his back was extremely lonely. He walked aimlessly down the street, with an extra jar of wine in his hand at some point. The liquor was in his throat, but it could not anesthetic his grief. (To be continued......)
